Column selection and replace works amazing, but it is only for rectangular selection
e.g. replacing - with _ in the name attribute without touching the other -
I have tried other editors as well and then replace in the column selection was not possible (selection disabled or all lines were selected)
But what if it looks like:
What I would like is an organically adjusting selection. You select x-x and then like column selection it auto adjusts the selection upto the double quotes. It looks constantly for the same shape in every line and add it to the selection.
I don't know if this already possible in Sublime Text by the way or what the real name for it is ( "organic block selection", "column selection with Gaudí feature","shape based selection", "auto regexp selection" ).
